I streamed one playthrough, and the other I played on my off days or in my downtime. This led me to play two save states of this game. I played the first game through more than a few times with various goals and methods – I wanted to know how my two favourite characters would fare in the wake of Eothas. You don’t just import the choices you made and how they impacted the world – you are the same Watcher from the first game. Firstly, how well does it hold up to the choices – good and bad – of the previous game’s design? Secondly, I want to know how the game handles the decisions I made in the first game. So when I’m talking about the legacy, I speak of it in nervous whispers of a two-pronged path. Things are going to get tangled and salty! However, my expectations were high for this sequel, and I was very skeptical of many of the promises. Hence my beloved Pillars of Eternity flask. She happily declared to my wife and I that because we tried the demo we were entitled to some swag. I played for about 10 minutes and found that it was what I imagined it would be. She insisted, saying I should really give it a try, I shrugged and did so. I waved her off, saying that I didn’t need to – I knew already I was going to buy the game. I stopped and marvelled, arms possibly flailing wildly, and the lovely young woman at the booth asked if I wanted to try the game. I remember my wife and I being on our honeymoon in 2014, and passing by the Pillars of Eternity booth at Gencon. And boy were we thirsty for them at the time. Here it’s been over three years since the original Pillars of Eternity released in March 2015 and reminded the world that single-player CRPGs were still wanted.

I could have done a rush job on this review, but the copy came later than expected and the game was denser than I could imagine. This is a bit later than I wanted it to be.
